Hello, Bhargav.dandamudi! Welcome to the Embedded Community. Embedded SKUs (products) are available for long life which typically means that they will be in production for up to 7 years after its launch date. You can find the embedded roadmap at https://edc.intel.com/Tools/Roadmap/Default.aspx?language=en Intel® Embedded Design Center - Embedded Product Roadmap. Another resource for Intel's product catalog is http://ark.intel.com/ ARK | Your Source for Intel® Product Information. If you would like to speak with an Intel representative about your project just fill out this form and you will be contacted by an agent who covers your geographical area: https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/forms/intelligent-systems/get-help-external.signedin.html https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/forms/intelligent-systems/get-help-external.signedin.html. Have a nice day! Lynn
